Aaron Industrial Marketplace Auction Platform Targets New Niche for 2012

AIM Auction Platform Focusing on Businesses that Need to Liquidate Equipment Fast 

Chicago, IL – February 5, 2012 – Following a highly successful effort last month to quickly liquidate a going-out-of-business heat treating metal parts manufacturer, Aaron Industrial Marketplace (AIM) realized that it had unearthed an overlooked niche. The auction platform provider immediately set its sights on serving businesses in a similar situation. That accomplishment has fueled AIM to make plants and manufacturing facilities that are closing their doors and must therefore sell off their assets fast an additional corporate focus in 2012.

The Aaron Industrial Marketplace has been in business for over two years now, and in that timeframe it has helped numerous businesses turn their excess equipment and machinery into cash. The venture into rapid liquidation of equipment is therefore more of an extension of its already proven business model rather than a brand new direction.

“We’ve always targeted businesses that had equipment to sell but didn’t have the expertise to get it sold themselves. Now all we’re doing is adding a lack of time to that equation,” explains company spokesperson Bruce Baird. “We offer a turnkey solution to convert excess machinery to cash, and we have the know-how and experience to get it done fast.”

Speed and expert assistance aren’t the only reasons a business should consider the AIM platform as a means of selling off its excess inventory, though. The Aaron Industrial Marketplace team’s ability to get the job done with minimal interruption to normal operations is another. But perhaps the most compelling one is AIM’s capability to maximize a business’s profits on such sales.

“Before an auction gets underway, we take the time to talk to business owners one on one. During that interaction, we’re able to give them a better understanding of what their equipment is really worth. Oftentimes, AIM sees more value in tangible assets than the actual business owners do. As a result, we can help them secure the most money for their equipment,” Baird adds.

What’s more, the amount of equipment needing to be liquidated is not an issue for AIM. The Aaron Industrial Marketplace has the capability to sell individual production pieces all the way to complete plants, even under tight deadlines. In less than 30 days, the company was able to sell off all the leftover assets of a soon-to-close heat treating plant and leave behind a clean building.

Aaron Industrial Marketplace Helps a Closing Company Liquidate Excess Inventory on Tight Deadline

AIM Auction Platform Delivers Results on Short Notice

Chicago, IL – January 20, 2012 – When a local metal heat treating firm found itself needing to liquidate inventory in a hurry this past December, it turned to the Aaron Industrial Marketplace (AIM) for help. With just 30 days left until the company had to vacate its premises, the timeframe was tight but AIM delivered results that exceeded expectations despite the urgency. By January 6, 2012, the auction company successfully sold off the assets and coordinated a scrap and clean-up effort that left behind a broom clean building.  

The precipitating event behind the last-minute auction was that the metal heat treating company was closing its doors.  Having already sold most of its major assets, the company was staring down excess assets that were cluttering up its plant and offices. Getting rid of everything by their early January deadline appeared daunting.

The remaining items consisted of everything from older heat treating equipment, a maintenance department, testing lab, forklifts and other material handling equipment to office furniture.  Finding a single source that could liquidate everything fast seemed nearly impossible. 

That’s when the company turned to AIM. When the company mentioned that it had to leave behind a completely empty office and warehouse by early January, the Aaron Industrial Marketplace team didn’t blink an eye. They agreed to take on all that remained and then proceeded to auction off and scrap out the balance of the items in less than 30 days.

“It’s not uncommon for businesses to find themselves in a tight squeeze where they need to close out the books by liquidating equipment or completing a sales project by the end of the year,” explains AIM spokesperson, Bruce Baird. “In the midst of the busy holiday season, other liquidators might tell them to come back in January, when it would have been too late. At AIM, we pride ourselves on not letting time constraints get in the way. With only a short window to perform it, we got the job done for this company and we can do the same for other businesses who are put into a similar time crunch.”
